1. A method for preventing lower-layer level attacks committed against entities in a network, comprising:

  • forming a secure peer group (SPG) of member entities in the network, wherein each of the member entities is configured with a media access control (MAC) address locked to its own identity and a Internet protocol (IP) address linked to its MAC address;

    establishing a secure handshake between at least a source member entity and a target member entity of the SPG by mutually authenticating the source member entity and the target member entity; and

    securely transferring data from the source member entity to the target member entity.
